Wow, so much more than I expected. The description makes this seem like a rock documentary but the music is just the backdrop for this amazing story of friendship and love. Wonderfully put together; the story blossoms nicely. As you're watching you get more and more emotionally engaged. The main subjects positivity bounces right off the screen and I was able to leave the theater with that energy. Highly recommended. And I went home and immediately registered as an organ donor - you should too, you're literally saving someones life.
